FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kattacktm Race Player at Acura Miami Grand Prix
Minneapolis, MN, March 5, 2007 – Daily results of the Acura Miami Grand Prix will include much more than just the finishing order in 2007. Courtesy of www.Kattack.com, all of the racing in Miami will feature detailed GPS tracking data for every race in every fleet. Each evening you'll now be able to see every tack, port duck, missed shift and penalty spin.
According to Kattack President Tom Verburgt “Kattack changes sailboat race reporting and makes the racing more accessible to viewers. Results are results, but this shows the whole story of how the race went. Was the race won with tactics, crew work, or boat speed? Kattack makes this clear to web spectators.”
Viewers can visit www.Kattack.com or www.Premiere-Racing.com to watch replays of each race. Video versions of all races will be offered for people who have not yet downloaded the Kattack Race Player. Best of all, video replays are FREE.
For those desiring the full media experience, the Kattack Race Player is still available as a FREE beta download. Using the Race Player, viewers can analyze individual boat performance, zoom in or out, speed up or slow down, observe wind shifts, isolate individual boats, and catch every tactical nuance of the race along with polars and speed strip charts for each boat.
Race player data should be available by 5:00pm each evening, and all videos should be posted by 9:00pm (Eastern time).
